Pros

Good pay and benefits. Good time off. Basically a good company to warehouse yourself -- especially if you want the best (in this day and age) chance for long-time job security for 5-15 years (depending). Simply tow the line and buy a house, have 2.3 kids , 2 cars, vacations and be Clark Griswold. Just the thing if a cookie-cutter, Bed, Bath and Beyond, wonder bread, midwestern lifestyle is your aim in life. Nothing wrong with that. Line up at the trough and feed. Rules: Just keep your head down, play nice and collect your checks every two weeks and be happy. Resistance is futile.

Cons

Abbott is still living in the past socially and in technology. While the people are usually nice (to your face), you still know that caucasian people are taken more seriously than so-called minorities - notwithstanding all the "minority advancement programs" designed to make Abbott Labs appear to be a "progressive" equal opportunity employer. For a company with so much cash, it is amazing at how behind the times their IT systems and methodologies are.
